on my '04. Pretty straightforward. The plug tool from the kit worked, though I used a 10mm socket and wrench to turn it. And from looking...
On my '04 the manual(found online, missing when I got the bike) says between 1 and 1 3/8" of slack. Clean it well, lube it, then check. As Durk...
True enough. I'd thought of getting well nuts and screws, but decided to stick with the clips since I could find replacements. There's also...
I wish I'd known about this forum and found out about --BOLT Motorcycle Hardware-- these when I bought my VFR. There were a couple of clips...
I've got a throttle lock, which with a little tweaking works great. Last trip used both: the 'buster lets me relax the grip and just use some...
Ta daaaaa!
Sorry, picture soon
I made a mod to my 'buster: the inside edge and corner pushed on just the wrong area of the heel of the hand. So used a heat gun to warm it...

I use a pair of the same type I use shooting: soft, yellow, rubbery material with a cord between them. They'll fit most people nicely, they're...
Mine's a '04. City, mild-to-warm weather, 40mpg; in cold weather 35-37. Highway, depends on the winds: strong headwinds, 45-47; tail or...
Just finished a 300-mile ride the other day, my first longer ride with one; helped a lot being able to turn loose of the grip to rest my hand....
I put it off a while simply to make sure I had a warm day to do it in. I used a Mity Vac hand vacuum: used a baster to suck the old fluid out of...
The most involved part in changing the oil & filter is getting the cowlings off & back on; the job itself takes a few minutes. Pretty...
Can't argue with that
Waited for the manual-listed mileage, but yeah, should have done it sooner just to be on the safe side. No braking problems or sponginess, at least
Yeah, it's a standard thing; when it involves stopping gear and such, it still makes me a bit nervous. The old fluid was about the color of...
Mine's a 2004. It kicks in 6700-6800rpm, and you can tell: the exhaust note deepens and there's a real surge of power. First time I found out...
Damn, I may have to do this come spring. My previous bike was a 750 Vulcan with aftermarket pipes, and it was that way: deep rumble, but not loud...
How would you say the volume compares: lots louder or just a bit?
